Is Trish Stratus wrestling at WrestleMania 35?

WWE WrestleMania 35

I may be reading too much into this, but I do find it interesting that there is a new Trish Stratus WrestleMania 35 figure available in which she is wearing what is clearly wrestling attire. What are the odds on her and Lita teaming against Sasha Banks and Bayley in a cross-generational battle over the women’s tag belts?

Roman Reigns on GMA

WWE

GMA promised a “can’t miss” announcement from Roman Reigns in their advertising for his appearance on the show this morning. Those expecting him to confirm the date of his in-ring return were likely disappointed, because we got nothing like that. Still Roman had plenty to say, which you can see for yourself here:

WWE Legends Beat Down Jinder Mahal Post-Raw (Video)

Raw

Since Ric Flair wasn’t going to be attending his own birthday party thanks to a certain ‘Animal,’ Jinder Mahal figured he’d use the decorations and the legends in the ring to his advantage and throw a “Punjabi Celebration.” It didn’t go well.

WrestleMania card response

I agree! I should point out that this is not a dream card rather what I expect the card will be. WWE always overbooks WrestleMania and has several multi-person matches. Last year there was a three-way for the tag titles, a four way for the US title and a three-way for the IC title. This sort of thing always happens at WrestleMania because they want to get everyone on the card. I would much rather it was lots of singles and tag bouts.

. . . And we did not even mention the battle royals! Sorry folks, it is going to be a 10 hour show, we might as well all make peace with that fact now.

Vince McMahon almost sold XFL

XFL

Vince McMahon had the chance to sell the rights to the XFL to Charlie Ebersol and the people behind the AAF but turned down a $50 million offer for the name and assets. The information comes from Sports Business reporter Darren Rovell, who noted the tidbit as part of a lawsuit brought against the AAF by Robert Vanech, who claims to have come up with the AAF and believes he is entitled to 50% ownership. The lawsuit details that the original plans for the league were to buy the XFL rights and relaunch it, which obviously is something McMahon is now doing himself. Will Vince regret turning down the bid? I guess we will find out next year.

Young Bucks vs Lucha Bros made official for Double or Nothing

AEW

The rumored match between The Young Bucks and The Lucha Bros has now been made official for AEW’s debut show, Double or Nothing. The angle had been set up with attacks from both teams to the other in previous appearances, but now the match is 100% official. Considering these are two of the best tag teams in the world currently, this could definitely be a show stealer right off the bat.

While Naomi has gone on to bigger and better things, it seems her former Funkadactyl partner, Cameron, also wants a piece of the action. I wonder if her favorite match has changed from Melina vs Alicia Fox.

That’s a fair point @TippityTopp, that probably should have made the list, or at least been an honorable mention.
